Sorry in advance for the wall of text.
TL;DR: Stressed/beat up from a long move, not eating, have him fridged, what else can I do?
My 5 yr old male leucistic was just moved from 2600 miles from Atlanta to Washington state. I left him with my boyfriend for the last 3 months, so I haven't been taking direct care of him. He was happy and healthy when I left.
He got beat up a little during the 2-day move; abrasions on his face and a red leg that seems a little better now. He's been in a 10-gallon tub for the last few days (daily water changes, temp at 60F/15C) while the tank cycles, and he's been showing signs of stress since he arrived.

He's also throwing up his nightcrawler pieces half-digested. He normally eats red wigglers, so I'm not sure if this is a picky-eater problem or a stress problem. I can't find anything but nightcrawlers at nearby bait shops or Petco. Any suggestions for alternative food for a picky eater?
I panicked and fridged him last night and his tail is starting to uncurl. Any other suggestions to help him?
